Go to Costco's automotive section. At least at mine, right up by the counter they have a big display bin with all shapes and sizes. Good ones. Cheap.

No Costco where I live. Curious to know how long they are. The lug nuts on my car are 30mm.

I purchased a set of old chrome gorilla lug nuts from Hervey at special-t-auto when I first bought my Boo. The originals had the issue of the outer shell coming off. The solid chrome ones from hervey became brown rusted in less than a year. Turns out even though they were solid they had a cheap chrome coating on them that flaked off and the steel underneath rusted.
Contrary to many of the experiences here, I emailed pictures to John Hervey and he asked if unwanted a refund or if I wanted his stainless ones. I went for his stainless ones and they are still sitting in the box he shipped them to me in, never opened, yet.
He did stand behind this product. At that time I didn't know about the Honda lugs, and I think I heard something about them being just too short to tighten fully, but that may have been wrong info.
Try Costco.com
I think advance auto parts has a display in the store where you can bring in your lugs and find a pair that will fit the lug stud correctly.
Just some ideas.
Rich, since you are in NY , you should join the DMA, thy have great people and nice events throughout the year.
If you are on Long Island anytime, give me a buzz.

Thanks Lou, I'm near Lake George.

I'll try Costco's website and I'll also check out the clubs you mentioned.

I just have ones from NAPA on mine. I can't remember the part number off hand, but I believe they are just standard Honda ones. No fitment issues. And they look just like the ones the DMC store lists.

If the stock/OEM ones are good, not sure why you wouldn't just run those. If you have missing or loose caps, then I understand your wanting to replace them with something more durable.

I lost a cap while driving this fall and ordered a DMCH reproduction lug nut, and although they're capped just as the originals, it appears to be of a nice quality and visually indistinguishable from the stock/OEM nuts. I've yet to put the replacement nut on the car, as I remove the wheels/tires for winter storage.

Personally, I'd check out whatever is available locally, as others have suggested, and go with whatever works that appears to be of a good value.

The cover came off of one, others are a bit mismatched. I don't like the covered style, I'll stop at NAPA tomorrow & see if they have solid lug nuts.
